Recently, Tom Petty’s family also asked the Trump campaign not to use the late rock legend’s hit song from 1989, I Won’t Back Down. The song was played at Donald Trump’s rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma on June 20, 2020.
According to the reports, the family has issued a cease and desist letter to the Trump campaign. According to a media report, the statement by Petty’s family said that Donald Trump was not authorised to use the song to promote a campaign that leaves a lot of Americans and common sense behind. Last year, the iconic band Queen also stopped Donald Trump for using their popular song We Will Rock You in a campaign advertisement.
